Oh and I wanted to share a quote that has been helping me out a lot during the last month.

"We acknowledge that your path will at times be difficult. But I give you this promise in the name of the Lord: rise up and follow in the footsteps of our Redeemer and Savior, and one day you will look back and be filled with eternal gratitude that you chose to trust the Atonement and its power to lift you up and give you strength." -President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

This quote was from one of the recent Ensign magazines and it really stuck in my head. I am truly grateful for the Atonement and the power it brings into our lives. I have truly learned on my mission how to apply the Atonement in my life and how to teach others how to apply the Atonement in their lives. Life is filled with difficult times, but I know that as we follow the path of the Savior, we are truly filled with more strength and He is able to help lift our burdens.

Eu amo vocês!!!

Com amor,

TCHAU Sister Alós! Haha this was the struggle because we live on the fifth floor and her cart thingy broke and we had to cross the bridge so we had to catch an ônibus and it took us like a half hour to get to the rodoviária but we arrived safely and just in time to catch our ônibus to Vitória (we only got a little sweaty haha)

I love transfers because I get to see all of my friends!!! And I get letters and packages! (Thanks mom!)
